Lowe Mk 1 used to pay highly skilled, expensive PR people to sing his praises. Lowe Mk 2 uses the likes of Sundance Beast and Professor. Just shows how the credit crunch is even affecting him!!

What a ridiculous post. I realise that Luvvies have to big up WHI but this is really ridiculous. "There can be no doubt that the finances of Southampton Football Club are small change compared to the funds managed by WHI" ... hmmm. Well I would certainly hope so. Their job is to manage funds!! Just because their job is to manage funds does not mean that they own them!! Their turnover in their last financial year was £42 million. Our turnover in 2007 was £44 million. To suggest that we are financial pygmies in comparison with them is just crazy!! "A major City institution".... but they employ 326 people !!! Royal Bank of Scotland is a major City institution. They employ 224,000 people. I bet they have more people cleaning their toilets that WHI employ in total. Lowe was a failure iin a merchant bank. He was a failure as a businessman. The FA thought he was a joke and voted him off their committees. Over the last 10 years the only business he has been successful in is taking over £4 million out of the club in dividends and salary. Do you think Abramovich takes a wage out of Chelsea?? Lowe's "contacts" have never looked like investing in our club in the 10 years that he has been leeching off our business. Why should they now!!

You can't say that on this forum !!!! Anything as sensible or as truthful as that will get immediately attacked by the luvvies. Siundance Beast will go on about how relegation was inevitable for a club of our size. A good job this view wasn't around in the '90's when we were a lot smaller. The Professor will go on about how this view is too blinkered and ignores how Saturn was in its ascendancy during 2005 and that was not good for a club of our ability and anyway he is a lot cleverer than us so his view is more accurate. 3 managers in a season - I think you have got it in one..... and whose fault was that??? Now let me see....
